MAY 06, 2026 | PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED EODB CHAMPION ORDINANCE โ PROVINCE OF BULACAN
The Provincial Government of Bulacan, through the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, conducted a public hearing on the proposed ordinance entitled โAn Ordinance Institutionalizing the Ease of Doing Business (EODB) Champion Program in the Province of Bulacan and Providing Mechanisms for Its Implementation.โ Anchored on Republic Act No. 11032, the measure establishes a province-wide, performance-based framework that promotes efficiency, transparency, and innovation in public service delivery across all Local Government Units (LGUs).
Central to the program is the EODB Champion Contest, an incentive-based mechanism designed to recognize and reward high-performing LGUs in business facilitation and regulatory efficiency. Participating LGUs will be evaluated through the EODB Champion Scorecard, a standardized and evidence-based tool measuring performance in key areas such as compliance with EODB laws, service efficiency, and digital innovationโensuring accountability, objectivity, and continuous improvement.
The hearing was attended by Members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, namely Hon. Arthur A. Legaspi, Hon. Fortunato J. Angeles, Hon. Cezar L. Mendoza, and Hon. Michael M. Aquino, together with Atty. Jayric L. Amil of the Provincial Cooperative, Enterprise and Development Office (PCEDO). Representatives from DILG, DICT, PSA, DTI, the Bulacan Press Club, and various LGUs also actively participated, providing valuable inputs to further strengthen the proposed measure. The initiative reinforces Bulacanโs commitment to institutionalizing reforms, enhancing inter-agency collaboration, and fostering a competitive, investor-friendly business environment.
